1960 Map of Findlay

About this map

The Blanchard River defines the central topography of this 1960 survey, flowing through the heart of Findlay and connecting the city's parks, institutional centers, and industrial corridors. The landscape is a study in mid-century growth, featuring established neighborhoods such as West Park and the distinct community of Mortimer (North Findlay). Civic and social infrastructure is dense, including Findlay College, the Courthouse, and the County Fairground. Transportation and industry drive the local economy, visible through the extensive Tank Farm sites, active Quarry locations, and the confluence of the New York Chicago and St Louis RR, the Baltimore and Ohio RR, and the New York Central RR. For those tracing local heritage, several smaller landmarks like Aurand Cem, Pleasant Hill Ch, and numerous neighborhood schools like Firmin Sch and Jefferson Sch provide specific points of geographic reference.
